Episode notes
Epstein As An Intelligence Broker
- Epstein functioned as an active asset for Israeli intelligence and brokered high-level deals using his elite network.
- That role reframes much of the Epstein reporting as more than salacious scandal and into geopolitical operations.
Elite Immunity After Conviction
- Epstein maintained extraordinary access to top global elites despite a conviction for soliciting a minor.
- His social standing shows a transnational elite culture where legal and moral limits often don't apply.
Elite Appeal Overrides Ideology
- Greenwald finds Chomsky's friendship with Epstein especially baffling given Epstein's ties to Israeli intelligence and Chomsky's vocal criticism of Israel.
- The relationship illustrates how elite allure and money can override ideological consistency.
